In DOOM, the XFX RX 580 8GB Black Edition does nothig but offer good FPS levels at 1920 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440. Even 3840 x 2160 is playable if you push to that level and was hitch-free in my testing. In this game, the GTX 1060 6GB does fall behind the performance delivered by the RX 580 Black Edition. In Watch Dogs 2, the GTX 1060 6GB is outperforming the XFX RX 580 by 6+ FPS depending on the resolution. XFX's RX 580 does show a nice boost in FPS performance over the RX 480 GTR.
